<DeathStar> Date: 10-660.1.7
<DeathStar> Location: Peacekeeper HQ
<DeathStar> *Cheryl reaches the docks where Adeline is currently being detained with Sephie*
<Seraphna> **Angela lets out a small noise of relief that it’s not gotten worse
<Seraphna> **Sephie looks nervous**
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes them all, arms crossed* I can't believe you all revived him
<Seraphna> Angela> If he’s swapped you and then killed you?
<Seraphna> *he’d
<Seraphna> Angela> I didn’t really have a choice. Plus… now you’re not on murder charges.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Sephie would have done something.
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks distracted, peering off in the distance*
<Seraphna> Angela> We have bigger problems.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes.
<Seraphna> Angela> Geyze is vanishing.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It's gone
<Xanatos> <Kane> I can not believe you would murder a handcuffed man who put up no resistance...and then be incredulous at us for saving him no matter how much of a goddamn shit he is.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I am, in short, disappointed.
<Seraphna> Sephie> Gone… but…
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... I do understand, but I'm disappointed too."
<Seraphna> Sephie> Did Mom chase after Terra and Momma G?
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks at Kane, then out at space; her face is stoic, but empaths can tell the comment has gotten under her skin a little* Peer out... the two worlds are no longer near the HQ
<Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs the bridge of his nose, focusing on calm breathing.
<Xanatos> <Kane> We should rejoin the others. Return to the PAX. Determine next steps.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...right."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And that chip will need to be taken
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes them all* That an order from who?
<Seraphna> Angela> I suggest a non-telepath take it. Let’s call it a request for now.
<Seraphna> Angela> Spade’s will be taken too.
<Seraphna> Sephie> Momma…
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's too dangerous."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Please Adeline.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes, dear? *she eyes the group, her eyes showing a slight glow color, like she might be charging her psioics* You want me to turn it over when we're under attack from unknown enemies and a powerful will takers?
<Seraphna> Sephie> Let me use it.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hell no."
<Seraphna> Sephie> I have a protection.
<Seraphna> Sephie> Mommas are gonna need you. I can help by keeping watch.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And that makes you trustworthy how?"
<Xanatos> <Kane> We believe the chip is influencing you, otherwise would you have lost control and taken Spade's life?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Would it really be worth the power if you lost yourself?
<DeathStar> *Adeline turns to eye the stars where the two worlds used to be, licking her lips; Chii has positioned herself behind Adeline*
<Seraphna> Angela> Would it be worth losing Jaime? I have a feeling time is of the essence here.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So we plan to make a trip to the PAX while Jaime is missing?
<Seraphna> Angela> I’d rather you go after her.
<Xanatos> <Kane> We willl find her together.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Removing the chip isn't so easy
<Seraphna> Angela> Then let’s make it a fast trip.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... Then we will need to schedule a trip to Cuddles.
<Seraphna> Angela> We have to take you there to remove it so standing here is a waste of time.
<DeathStar> *Erevis steps onto the PAX shuttle* Let us go
<Seraphna> Sephie> I’ll have Libbie alert Cuddles.
<Seraphna> **Sephie takes her mother’s hand**
<Xanatos> <Kane> Thank you, I promise we will find her.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl motions to Chii to take the PAX shuttle while going to her's*
<DeathStar> <John> ... Well. I'm, for one, glad that none of our brains exploded just noe
<DeathStar> *John looks around at everyone*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> My Addy is a good girl. Even if the chip is bad.
<DeathStar> *while the shuttles take off, Aya leans over with Kellin at the top, pointing at screens*
<DeathStar> <Aya> There, I think
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If we thought Adeline was going to just start attacking, we wouldn't have just stood there and asked quietly."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks over what she's pointing at.
<Seraphna> Angela> I’m guessing Sephie your protection is the mind split.
<Seraphna> **Sephie nods** Libbie and I are fundamentally linked. If the chip started to affect me she’d know.
<DeathStar> *it is a screen of herself, but if you look closer, there is oddities. Even with Aya aging slower than a normal human due to Chad's DNA, even if she looks in her 30's, she's still 70. The Aya on the screen looks to be 20, with older makeup applied and mimicing how Aya moves herself*
<DeathStar> <Aya> She was definitely moving about the HQ around the time of Warren's death
<Seraphna> Sephie> Momma Jaime should have sensed something but running the Empire might be distracting her.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I imagine I even interacted with her a time or two.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> It seems so obvious now.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Let us see if we can smoke them out then
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That alternate world individuals are invading?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm?
* Dias` has joined #TAW-Session696
<Seraphna> Angela> I the planets vanished they are likely in the mirror verse. Hopefully intact.
<DeathStar> *Aya has Id try to hack into the clone Aya's socials before she vanished for clues* Let us see what we can find*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> *Blue leans over, sleeping, when Darien and Cran wakes her them up* Rise and shine
<DeathStar> *Alouette bangs drums*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole blinks and sits upright.
<Xanatos> <Cole> What's going on?
<DeathStar> <Darien> All the big players have left Earth and we were asked to investigate something as Repliforce - Stacey detecting something unusual at Mansion Base.
<Seraphna> Angel> After they left?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think Lemon is still there
<DeathStar> <Cran> Stacey said something about a ritual was taking place so there might be others
<DeathStar> <Cran> But they could be weak right now
<Xanatos> <Cole> A ritual? Bizarre, I didn't know Lemon was into that sort of thing.
<Seraphna> Angel> Yeah let’s get there quick then. **holds out hands**
<DeathStar> <Curali> Oh yeah, Lemon runs around with deertard horns naked at night
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Blood all over her
<Seraphna> Angel> we don’t kink shame. Now grab on.
<DeathStar> *Blue grabs, as does Darien's crew. Cran complies*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole grabs on
<Seraphna> **Angel waits for Cole and Anyata then warps them over**
<DeathStar> *they arrive at the mansion, where a strange feeling buzzes in the air. The statue to the basement is moved, revealing the stairs, and down below are sounds a wolf*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Uh.
<Seraphna> Angel> It’s like a Briss at X’s house. **she moves to check the way down**
<DeathStar> <Blue> Oh no, I'm not into this kind of scene
<Xanatos> 6* Cole activates his katars and starts moving down the stairs.
<DeathStar> *Darien walks along down after them, where they find Noire, Andrea, Heaven and Tamara, and Marcus still in their circle; the atmosphere down here is feeling even heavier*
<DeathStar> *almost unbreatheable*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Did one of us summon a demon again?
<DeathStar> *she pulls herself along with her good arm*
<Seraphna> **Anyata looks for Lemon**
<DeathStar> *Lemon, oddly, semes missing among the strange party*
<Seraphna> Anyata> No Lemon. Were there others too?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... mother, we were conducting a ritual to reincarnate someone as a new eldritch being... and you are concenred about random demons?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> What the shit is going on down here?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well, you never know when one of them might come up
<Seraphna> Angel> A ritual like this, some of the PAX Dark Ones and no Kaelan causing mischief?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at Cole annoyedly* "This was allegedly the idea of one Chad Winters, so interrogate him."
<DeathStar> *as Noire says that, the lights go out and all of them feel a presence, so strong none of them can move*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Ah, I think the wayward son is back..
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... can one of us convince him to go back..?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...and his friends on Kumen are missing the welcome back party."
<Xanatos> <Cole> .... 6* He tenses trying to get his katars in a defensive ready position but the oppresive prescence is a lot so he's struggling.
<Seraphna> Angel> Is there a safety word?
<DeathStar> *The lights finally return and strange looking Logan is standing there*
<DeathStar> *the oppressive feeling vanishing a bit*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...this had better not be a Monkey's Paw situation, mother."
<Seraphna> Angel> Hello tall dark and Satanic.
<DeathStar> *unfortunately though there seems to be eldritch stuff around him, slithering creepily toward people*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I direct all inqueries to Chads
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Grrr 6* He shifts closer to Andrea protectively
<Xanatos> 6* Cole slashes out at anything getting close to him.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Should you be attacking that?
<DeathStar> *Andrea pats Marcus' head*
<Seraphna> Anyata> **guards her girl**
<Xanatos> <Cole> I don't know but I'm not letting it touch me!
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Logan? *she calls out to him*
<DeathStar> *Alouette leans and inspects* <Darien> This is a so called God?
<DeathStar> *Lemon finally shows, wearing a pan on her head and holding a broom*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan's eyes glow a deep red and theres inky blackneckess dripping from him arms and hands, he slowly peers over to Andrea.
* MobileAri has joined #TAW-Session696
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well. It looks like the spell tied you to the lowest region and is trying to make you a God of it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So what is he doing here instead of down there to claim his throne?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> I remember you. 6* He speaks slowly but his voice is laced with the voices of multiple people all speaking the same words at once.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> There could be a few reasons. He's here because he has ties to this place of death. He's here because he's pissed
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Or...
<Xanatos> 6* Logan looks across everyone else and despite the different glow in his eyes he seems to have trouble recollecting who anyone else is.
<DeathStar> *Andrea props her head on her knees, sitting cross legged* Despite being almost there, part of it might want to return to what he was
<Xanatos> 6* Logan looks at his inky black arms and hands.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Or a certain Tsivirxsh tyrant has finally taken notice of this netherrealm coup?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hard to say, until Logan adjusts, we don't know what is going on down there
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Speaking of... where is he? No attempts to itnerfere were made."
<DeathStar> <Blue> should we uh..
<DeathStar> <Blue> Approach him?
<Xanatos> 6* Logan holds out his left hand a brimstone and eldritch ink begins to coalesce into form eventually forming a massive axe.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Hold on. Here we go. 6* He holds up his katars, tense.
<DeathStar> <Darien> No. No you should not
<Seraphna> Angel> Do we need salt circles, true names and bibles? I have salt.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I would not use his true name right now. *She goes serious*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Andrea, you had a mission for me...I...remember.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan blinks and his eyes flash for a moment.
<Xanatos> <Logan> My friends. Where are they?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> They did not take your death well
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Despite us telling our plan
<Jackieness> <Noire> "They went back to Kumen with your original body. They are totally pissed."
<Seraphna> **Angel pauses and double checks their feeds** They went to Kumen? Oh…
<Xanatos> <Logan> I will go see them, then...the mission. 6* he reasons aloud.
<Seraphna> Angel> Ummm… about that.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole look at Angel
<Seraphna> Angel> Geyze and Kumen vanished a short while ago. Probably to the Mirrorverse.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> He can locate them
<DeathStar> <Andrea> He'll always have a connection
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... with his enw powers, he should be able to find his way there on his own."
<Seraphna> Angel> That… could be extremely useful.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan tightens the grip on the axe and the closes his eyes, focusing.
<DeathStar> *Logan would indeed locate them and be able to warp to them with an eldritch warp*
<DeathStar> *being able to sink in the ground*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan sinks into the ground without another word.
<DeathStar> *Noire's datapad beeps a moment later, with a massive wall of text from Ren*
<DeathStar> *updating her*
<Xanatos> <Cole> ....you all do some crazy shit, you know that?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm?" *checks her pad*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So is this house purged now?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts back into his normal form, standing upright and rubbing his shoulder.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's a bit of a mess, I'll help you clean, Lemon.
<DeathStar> *a few eldritch creatures attach to Cole and Anyata*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Thanks
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and cuts at them.
<Seraphna> **Anyata swipes with her beam sabers**
<DeathStar> *Alouette tries to catch one*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mirror Universe
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius fires with as much power as it can manage, blowing up the area where the Cleaners are located*
<DeathStar> *Avenir appearing near the group and pats herself down*
<Seraphna> Nox> Even if that does nothing it very much makes me feel better,.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Are you unharmed, Avenir?
<DeathStar> *Avenir nods*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Sensors."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> What the hell?
<DeathStar> *she looks like she's confused*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Our time stunt was noticed.
<DeathStar> <Geb> What are those?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Beings who very much hate any sort of manipulation of time, which makes the life of the time spirit...very difficult.
<DeathStar> *the sensors seem to pick up nothing*
<Seraphna> Nox> Cleaners. Some kinda Time-Police that don't really make any sense given that they didn't exist before the mirrorverse was connected.
<DeathStar> *Sylph eyes Geb nervously, moving away from Ellie a bit*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Where did they even come from?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Focus on that signal."
<Seraphna> Nox> That's the thing, in the Prime Timeline they had multiple time breech events and these guys never showed up.
<Seraphna> Nox> Now they do when a clock is slightly behind.
<DeathStar> *Origin squeaks a warning as the strange looking being began to rise up behind Nox*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Nox!"
<Seraphna> **Nox forms a shadow blade and leaps away while slicing back**
<Sara> <Erica> Great.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Given how they refuse to go after eldritch beings... I can only assume they're our enemies right now..."
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> It is due to your bending and breaking of the timelines constantly. Left and right, you bend time like children racing to rewind clocks and jump around, oblivious to worlds you fix and destroy
<DeathStar> *it eyes itself where it's sliced*
<Seraphna> Nox> So you use it as an excuse to destroy things. Got it.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Hey, we're the ones who've been fixing this!"
<Seraphna> Nox> You're just a creep pretending you have a righteous path.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Ben... scans on the intruder."
<DeathStar> <Ben> Scanning
<Xanatos> <Simon> Who deemed you the one to maintain order? When time is modified we create new branches, you're enacting order on your own whim.
<Seraphna> Nox> Doesn't it make sense?
<Seraphna> Nox> They're from above. Aren't you.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We don't know that, the above and below have been working together."
<Xanatos> <Simon> You hold Chronos, when her only crime was protecting us from certain death.
<Seraphna> Nox> Order's garbage men. Instilling someone else's will on timelines and acting like they're doing good when they have to force compliance. Didn't they start appearing after Fate got punished?
<DeathStar> *The Cleaner studies Nox oddly, as if focusing on something other than her words, then turns to Simon finally*
<MobileAri> * Nicolette bites her tongue, remembering when the universe was ready to fall apart from all the time fooling...
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> That one has led you all to this path. You are one of her many mistakes, Simon Martz
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "You're wrong."
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> Simon Martz' life flame went out years ago
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> Chronos broke time to bring it back
<Sara> <Erica> Feels like a lot of ours' did if you're gonna be so absolute about it.
<Seraphna> Nox> Have you ever considered, I dunno, course correction instead of deletion? How do you fully know what damage you do interrupting events?
<Xanatos> <Simon> It was my decision to have Chronos erase the Croza, if you should be holding anyone it should be me, not her.
<Sara> <Erica> You sure you want to take responsibility at a time like this? I mean, far be it from me to stop you.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Does my existence really shatter or break time as you've said? What has my being alive caused?
<Seraphna> Cookie> The future isn't set in stone, no matter how much one changes things.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Time is able to repair itself... so why does it suddenly have custodians?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Careful Cook, they might look at your abilities. 6* She whispers.
<DeathStar> *the Cleaner quietly just lets them yap*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I... don't think they really are."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "I know you have a point about the dangers of changing time. You talk about us destroying worlds with our actions... but did we cause any harm this time?"
<Sara> <Erica> Hate to say it, but 'harm' is pretty relative in situations like this, right?
<Seraphna> **Nox eyes the cleaner, the shadowy sword taking on a sharper edge as Darkness from her other side fills it** Can't imagine preventing three worlds from being destroyed is causing harm. Unless the harm is to some really shitty future.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It... really is."
<DeathStar> *The Cleaner finally turns to Simon*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Reality was ready to tear itself apart because of that imbalance... one we actually went to you about ahead of time, now that I think of it."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "The one that the eldritch being caused?"
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> Chronos has caused irreversible harm to time, breaking links and causing loops, and thrusting you all into situations as the spirits from afar. Time can handle so much bending and twisting, but Chronos purposely abuses it; you ask your place in this
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "The two universes were drifting further apart. We wanted to correct this before, but they refused. And things go worse, until the fabric of reality was going to pull them back together with explosive results."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "And now that we eased things so we didn't have catastrophic results for reality... we have this."
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> So you are fine with the results here
<DeathStar> *it asks Nicolette and the others*
<Seraphna> Nox> I wouldn't mind all these worlds going back to Prime.
<Seraphna> Nox> A lot of families are going to be ripped apart if this stays seperate.
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> We observe time, not world moving
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Then why are you asking?"
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> ... *it leaves empty air*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Fine? No, but it's a helluva lot better than all of this being wiped out, and who knows what that'd do to reality itself."
<Seraphna> Nox> I feel like we see the universe in two very differnt ways.
<Xanatos> <Simon> If I was not involved I don't believe they would have even showed up. I am sorry everyone.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Ben, anything from scans?"
<DeathStar> <Ben> Can't get a reading, no
<DeathStar> *The Cleaner turns to Simon* You are a Factor X, Simon Martz. This timeline has settled on you living thanks to Chronos, which she planned on with her actions of moving you away and hiding you
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am not surprised."
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> But your life flame is still weak
<Seraphna> Nox> Wait... so he NEEDS to live now?
<Xanatos> <Simon> I am not able to live to my fullest because I spend ALL of my time figuring out a way to get Chronos back.
<DeathStar> <Cleaner> Chronos is too dangerous
<Seraphna> Cookie> Can I suggest maybe... you should focus instead of protecting for her progeny?
<Seraphna> Cookie> I'm sure Chronos would care more about Avenir's future than her own. She's a mother.
<DeathStar> *Avenir blinks*
<Xanatos> <Simon> My flame is weak because I will not give up. If I am to burn brighter and help as many as possible then you need to stop blocking me. 6* He points to the Cleaner.
<Sara> * Erica has given up on this conversation and just watches from her chair
<Xanatos> <Simon> Avenir has the powers now, Chronos cannot do what her child can, there is no reason to detain her.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Avenir is wise with her gifts, she only did this because I pressed it.
<DeathStar> *The Cleaner turns away and leaveS*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "What is the situation outside?""
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I'm scanning and trying to get in contact with Kumen.
<DeathStar> <Ben> I'm detecting a -- not a temporal state, but it looks like it's vanishign into the time steam
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well, it didn't like, eat us.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...ah, thankyou for understanding..." *seems to be about to cry*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It's like it almost gave up
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Weird
<Xanatos> 6* Simon rubs the bridge of his nose, looking angry.
<DeathStar> *Avenir flops on her rear as Sylph gives her a weird look*
<Sara> <Erica> I guess you beat it with facts and logic. *she shrugs*
<Sara> * Ellie feeds Sylph
<Jackieness> <Airym> "For the moment, we should focus on the immediate situation."
<DeathStar> *Sylph blinks and takes the food* Uh, thanks. *she eats the food awkwardly*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Should we see what's going on outside the ship? I;m a bit worried that the other worlds are going to be very disoriented... and we don't know if Xevil and Wind are done yet. Or if we can even get everything to go back to Prime. ..Or ourselves for that matter.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "You taught it what love is. Wait, that sounds wrong."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "...that definitely had the vibe of 'You're not letting me speak my part, so I'm leaving'."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Maybe it didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
<Sara> <Erica> Guess it wasn't that end-of-all-existence-y after all.
<DeathStar> <Avenir> It just snatched me from my hiding spot and brought me here
<Seraphna> Nox> Well, good thing you're okay.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I wasn't looking forward to having to fight."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Indeed, I lost control a bit. I apologize. I'm glad they did not take you too Avenir, I am sorry I pressed you to do this but I am hopeful more good can come from this than the alternative.
<DeathStar> *Kumen and their Geyze is detected off in the distance*
<DeathStar> <Melodie> Does this mean we can do time travel whenever we want?
<Sara> <Erica> I wouldn't recommend that.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "No. We have to be responsible."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Set a course for the nearets of the two worlds."
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods and starts getting things moving**
<Seraphna> Nox> I still ... **she feels for Slyphs again**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon gets on the Aquarius quietly and moves to take a seat, staring at the ground.
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius alarms begin to off off*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Uh, what;s that?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I'm checking!!
<Sara> <Erica> Great. What's going on now?
<Seraphna> Cookie> I didn't even... *she checks the monitors**
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Raise shields."
<Seraphna> **Cookie does so**
<DeathStar> *Ben brings it up; a rather fast asteroid is going by, and a large one, but it doesn't seem to be going near the planet*
<DeathStar> *Sylph and other spirits stare*
<Seraphna> **Cookie tracks the trajectory**
<Xanatos> <Xan> What's the trajectory on that?
<MobileAri> * Nicolette finds some place to lay down, despite the alarms and commotion.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Scan that asteroid. Is it natural or a construct?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> And how the hell did we not notice that in the system?
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper scans
<DeathStar> *the Makas murmur and Zayne narrows her eyes*
<DeathStar> *it looks to be natural, and it's headed for Kumen*
<Seraphna> Cookie> It's headed for Kumen.
<Seraphna> Cookie> I would suggest intercepting?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Of course! Knock it off course!"
<Seraphna> Nox> **eyes the pod, and then Mire**
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Plot to intercept."
<Xanatos> <Xan> What's the size, can their defense systems handle it?
<DeathStar> *Mireille heads in*
<DeathStar> <Ben> It's on the large side. We... *he pauses* Wait..we might have trouble
<Seraphna> Cookie> We are part f the defense system.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> What sort...of trouble?
<Seraphna> Cookie> More!?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Try to get comms on Kumen. They need to get planetary defenses online in case we cannot stop it."
<DeathStar> *Ben brings it up - there's more, but the rest seem to be further out, a ton of them approaching, but these are smaller*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Ben, report."
<DeathStar> <Aimee> Dida planet explode?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "While we deal with the threat, try to plot its point of origin.""
<Seraphna> **Cookie breathes then begins taking them on a set of intercept course**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Trying to get in contact with Ymir's people to let them know what's happening! 6* She clacks away on her console.
<Seraphna> **Nox grumbles and closes her eyes, dunking her head into a shadow to give Kumen a warning**
<DeathStar> *Sylph oddly remains behind on the planet while they go*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon listens quietly, trying to determine if the Cleaners would stoop to such actions.
<DeathStar> *Avenir muses as they get closer* <Avenir> Should we try to call one of them back to question?
<Sara> * Ellie seems worried about Sylph
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes. If...you can.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Focus on the immediate threat. We will investigate faterwards."
<DeathStar> *Avenir nods*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Cheryl taps her foot; Adeline meanwhile is in surgery with Cuddles*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How the hell are we going to get to the Mirror Universe?
<DeathStar> *Jikuu meanwhile is the remaining Empress, so Erevis stands behind her, hands on her shoulder*
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> THere's the tree route.
<DeathStar> *Taiga stands with paperwork out and blueprints*
<Xanatos> <Kane> Taiga had a way, did she not?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Is that still an option?
<Dias`> <Id> I believe traversing it proper would be difficult now.
<Seraphna> Si> SHow them your science magic, love!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The pathways is dead. Taking it would be dangerous
<Seraphna> si> So do we have a mirror engine or mirror portal or some sort of person like Nyarl who can probably do it?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Is Victoire around, Jikuu? *she asks*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You know, First Mate and all?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "How can I help?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Having you use your power to bring the mirror worlds over would be impossible. You could bring Geyze over and maybe Kumen like Kaori did
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But... *she slaps the blueprints* If you could build this at the location of the worlds, that would be better
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Am I really the one you want to build things?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane looks curious
<Xanatos> <Kane> What are those blueprints for?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, you want Kaori to try?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's a gate way for ships; I wanted to build it into the mirror universe so we didn't have to try the tree all the time
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'll provide the power if you want, but I'm not exactly a builder."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But if we build it by hand, it could take months
<Seraphna> Si> A Nirror Gate!
<Seraphna> **Thena tilts her head** I can form a mental link between you.
<Seraphna> Thena> Then Taiga would just have to will it while Victoire does the magic.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "That would likely be better."
<Dias`> <Id> Thena is correct in a very basic way of explanation.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright then lets try that. *she gathers her papers as Aya and Kellin arrive*
<DeathStar> <Aya> I have bad news!
<Seraphna> **Thena points to each of them with finger guns and uses her Mental Link ability to join them** Pow! Pow! You're brain mates!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Worse than it already is?
<Dias`> <Id> What is it, Aya?
<DeathStar> <Aya> I think my wayward little daughter has run to Kumen or Geyze when she ran from the Peacekeepers.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Well then she's in another universe.
<Dias`> <Id> And is currently in the other universe.
<DeathStar> <Aya> And is currently in a sabotaging mood
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> With the other Empress too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Tch
<Dias`> <Id> That complicates things.
<DeathStar> *Taiga seems to be working with Victoire*
<DeathStar> *Cuddles can be heard shouting as Adeline approaches the bridge, her head wrapped up*
<Xanatos> <Kane> That's dangerous.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I demand you return and lay back down. You just had ...
<Seraphna> **Sephie sighs, following and helping with the bandage**
<Seraphna> **Angela titls her head and walks over to Adeline, using healing to help** No sense trying to stop you eh?
<Xanatos> <Kane> A-Angela, can you help heal Adeline so this is less dangerous?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane nods at her already going as he asks.
<Seraphna> **Angela winks at Kane**
<DeathStar> *Cuddles huffs*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> If she has trouble, remember my protesting
<Xanatos> <Kane> Sorry Cuddles, thank you for your hard work.
<DeathStar> *returns to check on the other Chad*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright, it should be in place.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Who all is ready to risk their life on my design?
<Dias`> *Chad steps in to their area, nodding to Cuddle as he passes. he moves over to his daughter
<Xanatos> <Kellin> What's in place?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It looks like we will be visiting the mirror universe
<Seraphna> Si> I'm game. I trust you.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Mirror gate!"
<Seraphna> Si> The Taiga Gate!
<DeathStar> *she peers at Jikuu* Anyone you wish for me to take?
<DeathStar> *Ren peers around the corner* I am going to smash things
<DeathStar> *she heads for the shuttle*
<Seraphna> Sephie> Mom and I are going of course.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I would go, but someone has to stay."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan steps out of Ren's shadow** I believe my precious Dark Spirits need looking after.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Plus no doubt Tsukiko is going to try and join Sephie so I need to protect her too. **she winks at Sephie**
<Dias`> *Id floats after*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane moves for the shuttle, making sure Adeline is okay to go.
<DeathStar> *Adeline pats her father and sits down*
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads after.
<DeathStar> *Ren and Erevis join in the shuttle, as Cheryl takes the controls. Aya sits in the back*
<Dias`> *Chad steps on an takes a seat*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets get to this gate
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> *Asarar is sprawled on the bar, wasted. Bonnie, arm still banadaged, tries to pick up things*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...really...come on..." *tries o move Asarar*
<DeathStar> *ASarar sits up* I'm good
<DeathStar> *Riki tentatively pours another when she taps the bar*I
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Just pisses off
<Seraphna> **Nell sniffs and sets coffee by Asarar**
<Sara> <Chelsea> Go drunk home, Asarar you're
<Jackieness> <Kira> "This is her home, Chelsea!"
<DeathStar> *Asarar peers at the stairs leading up to the rooms*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But that's...too far away
<Sara> <Chelsea> Be quiet, talking lights, my head hurts
<Sara> * Chelsea has clearly also been drinking
<DeathStar> *Bonnie sits by Chelsea and cheek rubs*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...then hold on to me."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *she pauses, her eyes suddenly becoming more alert*
<Sara> * Chelsea just rests her head in her arms.
<Seraphna> Nell> Do you have the power of autosober!?
<DeathStar> *Asarar lifts her hand up and moves for the door, hand on her belt and opens it*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *draws a blade*
<DeathStar> *outside Ymir forces are trying to wrangle people to get to safety shelters*
<Seraphna> **Nell peeks out** Oh boy something big is happening again.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... fuck me. *She slumps against the frame, holding her head, looking like she has a hangover now*
<Seraphna> **Nell hands her coffee** Take a SoberUp.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...it rains, it pours..."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm processing it with my biotect parts. Doesn't help the rest of me
<Seraphna> Nell> It helps with the pain too.
<Sara> * Chelsea looks asleep.
<DeathStar> *Asarar snatches it and takes it* Come on. *Bonnie lifts up Chelsea as best she can*
<Seraphna> Nell> **checks her datapad** Mom says there's meteors coming. Big ones.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hnnnn.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Logan is dea,d and now the sky is falling. Greeeeeeat."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, the streets are going to be hell and looting is going to be high
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets fight our way through it
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Fight our way where?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Shelter... uh..where was it in this area...
<Seraphna> Nell> Hmm, either the Spirits or the Government Tower?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Right, lets go to the tower
<DeathStar> *she waves her hand*
<Seraphna> Nell> There's always the underground accessible by the basement.
<Xanatos> 6* A being rises up in front of the group, black goo at first before solidifying into the form of Logan, though he's off, glowing red eyes and ink ichor dripping from his arms.
<DeathStar> *Asarar twirsts and aims her sword at it*
<Seraphna> Nell> Mister Logan?
<Seraphna> Nell> When'd you take on a Dark Spirit look?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *keeps her sword up*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I died. 6* He speaks, but the voice like before is layer with multiple other voices.
<Seraphna> Nell> So they DID make you a Dark God or something.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Asarar, I think we have somethign besides the meteors to worry about."
<Seraphna> Nell> How's it feel?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Something. It is...new. I was able to find you despite being a whole other reality away.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> .. *lowers it slowly* That really you
<DeathStar> *Riki meanwhile has left*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Not the same, memory is...off.
<Seraphna> Nell> Well, it's a weird time to show up. Meteors are coming to crash into the planet.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan holds up his arm to point at Bonnie, focusing to try and use some of his power to heal her.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie moves her arm, testing it, then hefts Chelsea over her shoulder*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan peers up at the sky, focusing.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> She is right
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We need to move somewhere safe
<Seraphna> Nell> To safety then!
<Seraphna> Nell> Also umm... do we pray or someting? Gods like that right?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Start to seal the building and then lets look for a route."
<DeathStar> *Asarar taps a button to initiate lockdown*
<DeathStar> *then studies Logan a long moment* You coming?
<Xanatos> <Logan> I want to observe, test what I have, I will return.
<DeathStar> *Asarar clicks her tongue, then eyes the others* Lets go then. *She glances back at Logan as she moves out*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Selena stands with Lana, the hand master, Ceilidh, Gwen, when Jaime arrives*
<Seraphna> **Jaime warps in, carrying a bag, she pauses and looks at them**
<DeathStar> <Selena> Empress Zhenmei?
<DeathStar> *Shin is pulling on Lana's hand when it suddenly twists wildly*
<DeathStar> *As if detecting something*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Geyze and Kumen were starting to fade away, so I came quickly.
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... Well. It is true. *she eyes the stars* These are stars of my childhood
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes, we're in the mirrorverse... and I guess the Aquarius team did something to prevent collision.
<Xanatos> <BIX> !!! 6* He looks up, wide-eyed.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Since we're alive.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Seems so."
<DeathStar> *The hand begins to aim itself at Kumen*
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Hmm, and I'm guessing Logan made it here too.
<Seraphna> **Jaime eyes the hand** Long story, we have a new Lord of Hell.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh?!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hm!?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What."
<Dias`> <Id> So they succeeded. I will adjust my journals.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay, sort story, Logan nearly died, a bunch of the Dark Ones gave him life energy in a ritual to supplant the Lord of Hell.
<Xanatos> <BIX> ...sound bad!
<DeathStar> <Selena> ...
<DeathStar> <Selena> I have no words
<DeathStar> *Soren seems distracted when Lana's hand calms down*
<Seraphna> Jaime> A lot has happened. Those Above are making their moves.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ok... back to....normal-ish..."
<Seraphna> **Terra hugs on Jaime**
<DeathStar> <Soren> What is that big thing in the sky?
<DeathStar> *She points*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX picks up his hand goggles...that are just his hands...and cups them over his eyes to zoom in on the object in the sky
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers up**
<DeathStar> *they would see the massive asteroid, heading for Kumen, and in the distance a large mateor shower to follow which will hit both worlds*
<DeathStar> *meteor
<Seraphna> Jaime> That... is our next challenge. Do any of the Ancient Ships have working weapons systems>
<Seraphna> *?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Aunt Sasha's
<Seraphna> Jaime> Get it up and running, I'll get the Great Forest online and tell the Legion to arm the one we gave them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I set up a defense grid on this planet during the Dark War to stop seeds.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'll go...I'm the only one that cna really get it running..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'll join you
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia help!
<DeathStar> <Selena> I guess I'll prepare for the damage - either from the sky or the people
<Seraphna> **Jaime eyes the spirits there** We'll need you all to work together to help. Every bit matters.
<DeathStar> *Soren nods* I will gather everyone present
<Dias`> <Id> I will record this for future retellings.
<DeathStar> --SHIFT-
<Xanatos> 6* BIX jogs towards Sasha's pyramid thingy.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *heads for the pyramid*
<Seraphna> Jaime> First we surive, then we find who sent those and kick their asses.
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> *The Aquarius has neared attack range of the large asteroid. By now, Ymir is on the line with the ship
<DeathStar> <Ymir> I'm having our spirits get into the towers, but it will take a little bit
<Seraphna> Cookie> Guess we gotta buy you time...
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Should I go out there nad attack it?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> WEAPONS ARMED!
<Seraphna> Nox> ..! Seems Geyze is also responding.
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Or can you handle it?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Ben, can we redirect it?"
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Sorry, inside voice.
<DeathStar> <Ben> I will see what our beams can do
<DeathStar> *Fate sits beside Erica*
<Sara> <Erica> ...?
<Sara> * She looks at her
<DeathStar> <Avenir> I'm getting no response from the Cleaners, but ... I don't think they had a hand in this. Infact, I wonder if this is what they were asking if this was what we "wanted" in this timeline
<DeathStar> *Fate nods to her* I'm here observing, don't mind me
<Xanatos> <Simon> I suppose so, we will just have to work to protect everyone we can.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well they should be more specific.
* Ari` has joined #TAW-Session696
<Seraphna> **Cookie prepares their first pass**
<DeathStar> <Avenir> Well, it's not like the other would have been better, right?
<DeathStar> <Ben> I can't seem to push it
<DeathStar> *Melodie turns to Sparkling, then shakes her head*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Then we break it up! Let the atmosphere help.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Right. I will go to the bridge, maybe my magic can be of assistance.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon rises to his feet and moves for the bridge.
<DeathStar> *Zayne steps out of a cargo hold and appears outside the ship*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Ready to fire.
* MobileAri has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 183 seconds)
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Tactical, prepare to hit it with everything we have."
<DeathStar> <Melodie on comm> I am directing all power to the weapons
<DeathStar> *she pours spirit energy into them*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Lets go! Everything's counting on this!"
<Ari`> * Nicolette listens to the updates, feeling... less than useful.
<Seraphna> **Cookie lines up their course to take them along a good looking area to break things up** And here we go.. COOKIE TIME!
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans forward*
<DeathStar> *Nicolette is tapped*
<Seraphna> **Nox watches, then starts preparing a power of her own**
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper starts firing all the big stuff that they have available.
<Ari`> <Nicolette> *opens one eye* "...hmmm?"
<Seraphna> **Nox waits till shots go out as she starts forming dark orbs along the surface to pull at and eat up parts**
<DeathStar> *the scans show that a lot of it looks to be hard metals, especially in the middle, but they are able to blast the massive thing into many smaller ones that will do less damage to the planet. Zayne begins to take out the smaller ones*
<DeathStar> *Xevil is there, minus Wind for once*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Wait, we're not just deflecting it?"
<DeathStar> <Xevil> What you asked has been done; the power is still secure in the Crystal Tree.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Too big and too strong.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Cooldown, energy recharging, but yeah this is tough.
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Well... not quite what I asked, but reality isn't going to die yet. That's good."
<DeathStar> *the smaller pieces are nearing Kumen, but thankfully they're easier to destroy now, Zayne forming strange monsters to do so*
<Seraphna> Cookie> SOmeone had to have sent these on purpose. Here we go again... **she starts charting a second course** We can break them up a bit more I think, then get to the next one.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> This reality will never die. But the reason I kept an eye on it instead, there are eyes on it that wish to destroy the tree
<Seraphna> Nox> We're advised to watch Geyze, they'll be launching their own shots.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hmm. 6* He starts to form some runes, attempting to bolster Zayne with his saboteur based magicks.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> The Mirror will grow stronger than the Prime
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Stronger... eh, that's strange."
<DeathStar> *Zayne pauses as the extra energy, the creature on her shoulder appearing and she begins to spin and tke them out while Mire boosts their own power again*
<Seraphna> **Cookie begins the next pass** Cookie Time activate!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Status?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> Blowing shit up Ma'am!
<DeathStar> <Ben> It's almost gone now
<Xanatos> <Pepper> BANG BANG POW POW. 6* She starts firing again.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Honestly I've just missed shooting these guns.
<DeathStar> *Zayne pauses in her attack as they begin to destroy the restof the larger one, leaving just essentially the bare remnants falling upon Kumen*
<DeathStar> *Zayne then begins to zoom off behind them toward the incoming meteor shower*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Let's rinse and repeat. The planets must be ready by now or soon.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Anything else you want to know or have?
<DeathStar> *Kumen's shields begin to go up*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Target the larger fragments and try to break them up further."
<DeathStar> <Ymir> This can stop a lot but if you can clear most of them
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Who wants to destroy the tree? This world universe hasn't been trouble to anyone but us, has it...?"
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper targets larger fragments like Airym orders.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... I think I already know..."
<Seraphna> Cookie> If I had to guess, the guys upstairs.
<Seraphna> Cookie> This is essentially a rogue branch.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> The higher begins from what Ican tell, hence they are all our enemies
<Seraphna> Cookie> If Prime's tree falls, so do their branches up above and below.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> We keep doing thigns they deem dangerous
<DeathStar> <Xevil> They fear the damage we'll do, I suppose, hence they want to cut us off from climbing up the tree to others
<Seraphna> Nox> Yeah, be careful of anything that looks like them helping or offering peace. It's probably bullshit.
<DeathStar> *while they're talking, the Aquarius has been tearing through the asteroids, but the power is steadily going down. At that moment, Zayne begins to unleash dark eldritch enrgy, tearing through them as well*
<DeathStar> *The makai almost revelling in it, clearly disturbing the other Maka*
<DeathStar> <Fate> ...
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...what?"
<DeathStar> <Ben> The asteroids are almost gone now
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well. If this was suppose to make the Cleaners afraid, I'm not seeing it
<Seraphna> Nox> No offense to you Fate. You helped and look what they did to you.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Back trace them to their projected origin. I intend to investigate."
<DeathStar> <Ben> Right.
<Ari`> * Nicolette sits up, "This is feeling less like a victory, and more like a shallow gasp for air."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Saving what we have, it does feel like we missed something else, otherwise this shouldn't be happening.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I think Zayne's losing it out there.
<DeathStar> *as things are calming down, Ellie would feel two bonds with Sylph oddly, both on the other Geyze*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I think so too."
<Sara> * Ellie holds her head, frowning
<DeathStar> <Melodie> I mean...we won? Yay?
<Seraphna> Nox> *comms Zayne** Hey girl, come chill inside.
<DeathStar> *Zayne turns toward the ship, then finishes the job and seems to zoom off toward the other Geyze*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well that will be a problem
<Sara> <Erica> ...She left
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...of course."
<Xanatos> <Xan> She's dangerous company to keep, is she going to get her daughter?
<Sara> <Erica> Is her daughter down there then?
<DeathStar> <Cloe> Won't the Maka there be a little angry?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Should we go back, we need to pick up Sylph anyway
<Sara> <Erica> Not sure that girl cares about people being angry.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Or head for Kumen/Geyze
<Sara> <Erica> Kinda seems prudent to deal with this because it's gonna get worse if we don't.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Pursue Zayne."
<DeathStar> *Xevil steps into the shadows, as if sensing something, and vanishes*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mirror Universe
<DeathStar> *Cheryl's shuttle arrives, seeing the aftermath of a battle. Various shuttles from Kumen can be seen flying out toward a massive Geyze like world, while others are going toward Geyze*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... *she feels out space* I feel Xanatos on the bigger world
<Seraphna> Sephie> Mom is no doubt on Geyze.
<DeathStar> *Adeline seems to be sensing Jaime* Yes
<DeathStar> <Aya> And we need to find my little wayward daughter
<Xanatos> <Kane> Let me investigate how effective this holonet is, I'll see if I can get some of the important people on a joint comm channel. 6* he starts working.
<Dias`> <Chad> We'll get it down, Aya.
<Seraphna> Sephie> Is this meteor debris?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Calling her your daughter feels...odd. But it is what it is.
<DeathStar> *Kane soon in touch with Ymir*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Hello, Mister Kane. Sorry, you have arrived in the aftermath of some chaos.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hello Ymir, it is good to see you alive. It seems you all have been busy.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Yes. If you would like to come here, I can arrange for all parties to meet
<Xanatos> <Kane> Some of us are in pursuit of a vagrant, but I will see that we can make that happen.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> I'll see if I can help with that then
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll bring us down at Ymir's place
<DeathStar> -Time Hop-
<DeathStar> Location: Macross HQ
<DeathStar> *upon arriving at the HQ, the Cheryl/Suisen group meet with Ymir's/Asarar/Jaime group in her office*
<DeathStar> *Ren paces around in the background, while Asarar just looks annoyed in her seat. Bonnie having propped Chelsea up*
<Dias`> *Chad sits in his chair, his arms crossed and his eyes closed. An Id floats about him*
<DeathStar> *Soren leans in at Aya, then at Chad*
<DeathStar> *Aya has Fiona and Evette on comms, running checks back at home*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I should shoot everoyne
<DeathStar> *she mutters*
<Dias`> *The Id turns towards Asarar*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane, Kellin, and BIX are all present.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *checks over Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Any ill effects of being transferred?
<Seraphna> Jaime> **smiles at Adeline, Gnome in her lap**
<DeathStar> *Selena stands, hands crossed*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I feel pretty fine. Just glad the girls were fine.
<Seraphna> Jaime> How are you with that rush surgery?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll be fine; vision blurs sometimes
<DeathStar> *Selena has Lana on standby with the controls to the pyramid*
<Seraphna> **Jaime shifts a bit so she can sit with her, Persephone (Sephie's full name) standing behind them**
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Alright. I did a search for uh..
<DeathStar> *she looks at Aya* Her
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Younger her.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Right
<Jackieness> <Lana> *is on a monitor, being physically on the pyramid*
<Dias`> *Chad opens his eyes to look at Ymir*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> She departed after the asteroids. *in the background she seems to be running a strange scan program that is making Lana's hand twitch*
<Seraphna> Luci> At least Nell's worst behavior was arresting you love. **She grins**
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyes the program and grunts*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> And it looks like she went to the other Geyze like world. We really need to give it a name
<Xanatos> <BIX> GEYZE TOO!
<DeathStar> *Selena seems amused*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... perhaps the natives of that world should have input in the namign process."
<DeathStar> <Aya> So she went there; I wonder why. I would have thought Jaime was her target
<Dias`> <Chad> That's a good question.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Whatever the reason we need to stop her. *She turns to Charlotte* You ready?
<Dias`> <Id> To either draw some of you apart or there's something there worth going for.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm not so easy a target.
<Seraphna> Angela> So are we off to planet Bob?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I can take us to it - Xanatos is on the planet
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Maybe she wants the power of the spirits there.
<DeathStar> *Asarar rises* I want one question answered before you go
<Dias`> *Chad looks at Asarar*
<DeathStar> *she points at a picture of Logan in space, behind Zayne, giving her some sort of power that allowed her to destroy mostof the asteoids, then begin to act strange*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What the eff was that?
<Dias`> <Chad> A back-up plan to deal with Nyarl and Xevil.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Chad, would you like to answer?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... that's not normal..."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ....I wouldn't step foot in the mirror universe after you get your job done here. *She exits the room*
<Dias`> <Chad> Based on the research that I did and with the help of Andrea's knowledge. We came up with a plan to replace them with someone we can control and trusted.
<Seraphna> **Jaime shivers a bit** I would not have approved even more Eldritch.
<Seraphna> Jaime> But I'm not Andrea or Chad's ruler.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *owrdlessly follows Asarar out*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Let us hope that your plan works flawlessly. *she takes Ren's hand and offers it to anyone else that wants to go to Planet Bobby*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Her group has always been very close, closer than any of the other teams save maybe Lorelei's kids, so picking one of theirs is...rough.
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves to join them**
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... *takes the hand* Hopefully he can kick their ass*
<Dias`> <Chad> You talk as if I plotted his situation to happen.
<Seraphna> **Luci shrugs** I guess I'm representing the Runners here.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> I'll talk to Asarar and smooth things over
<Dias`> *Chad she takes the hand
<DeathStar> <Ymir> You handle the assassin
<Xanatos> <Kellin> That's fair. 6* He and Kane takes Erevis' hand
<Seraphna> Luci> Still probabyl better not to bring Chad or Andrea here in the future.
<Seraphna> Luci> She holds grudges pretty well.
<DeathStar> *Erevis warps them*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze Bob
<DeathStar> *The Aquarius has landed; Ellie would feel two Sylphs, but the other bond link vanishes again as Sylph appears in front of her, having the bond link, or is it one?. Geb and the other spirits appear. The Maka seem to have gone mostly back to their world*
<DeathStar> *Yuki steps off the ship, looking around while Ben is scanning for Zayne*
<Seraphna> **Nox seems to be pointing in two directions** Ellie, what's going on?
<DeathStar> *Cloé peers about; the humans for the most part are being led back to the underground for now*
<DeathStar> *Fate studies the world*
<Sara> <Ellie> I don't... *she looks confused and troubled*
<Seraphna> Cookie> I'd assume because that's where all the cities and furniture and things are.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper goes over weapon systems after the excessive use, rising to go down into the engines, Xan and Simon both step off of the ship.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "The surface is pretty much a wasteland, so yeah."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> You are all back
<DeathStar> *she offers Ellie a pat on the arm*
<Seraphna> Nox> Yep! Saved the planets.
<Ari`> <Nicolette> *gets up slowly* "Yeah, just a little more excitement for today."
<DeathStar> *As Nicolette says that, outside there's a commotion as a group of people land on Xanatos*
<DeathStar> *or inside*
<DeathStar> *nope ot's out*
<Xanatos> <Xan> UMPH!
<DeathStar> *Erevis sits up on top of him, straddling* Hello
<DeathStar> *Selena seeks out Nicolette* Nico?!
<Seraphna> Angela> Welcome, to Planet Bob. Specifically Bob-15 but we'll just say Bob for now.
<Dias`> *Chad grunts and stands up*
<DeathStar> *Ren lifts Charlotte up*
<Xanatos> <Xan> NOW this is the kind of surprise I was waiting on.
<Xanatos> <Xan> You could've left Chad though.
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...It feels... really weird here.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He wished to join us
<Seraphna> Jaime> So much Mana but there's spirits...
<Seraphna> Nox> Yeah it's a gag here.
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Ah... hey Sel. How're things?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Greetings everyone, this planet is entirely mana, even the spirits...and the people live underground.
<DeathStar> *the spiirits all eye the group* <Sylph> More?
<DeathStar> *Avenir, Melodie, and Aimee side eye*
<Dias`> <Chad> Good to see you also, Durran
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin gets to his feet and begins to look around, then moves over to them and pulls up a photo of young Aya to show them.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hm
<Xanatos> <Kellin> There is someone who looks like this, not the person over there in our group. We're looking for her.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane dusts himself off and peers around.
<Dias`> <Chad> She apparently came here.
<DeathStar> *Sylph and Geb look at the picture, then at each other*
<DeathStar> <Selena> A ltitle crazy
<Seraphna> Jaime> She's a highly dangerous individual. Wishes to destroy the planet.
<DeathStar> <Selena> But things have calmed down at home
<Xanatos> 6* Xan quietly hugs Erevis and tells her how much he's missed her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Once we catch this little Aya, we shall.... *suddenly, the psionics would pick up a killing intent as a blast sound goes off and hits the side of the ship; it makes a small hole, but the hull takes it*
<DeathStar> *the other Aya is on the side of a hill, aiming at them, as she holds her railgun*
<Dias`> *Chad grabs his ears as he looks around*
<DeathStar> *the other Aya begins to move off as Fate drops down, having been in front of said hole*
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Yeah... I'm a little surprised we pulled this off, even if this wasn't what we were expecting. You should have seen it; Maka, spirits and manatech all working together to move a planet. It was a brilliant team effort."
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and teleports away to get a different angle on her firing a blast at her**
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Well... 6* He forms his pistols and runs in her direction.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Sounds like you all pulled off something amazing
<Seraphna> *Nox moves to check on Fate**
<Dias`> *Chad unholsters his gun* Cut her off, Kellin.
<DeathStar> *Ren begins to run on all fours*
<Seraphna> **Luci leaps into the air and goes dragon, flying**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin grumbles since it hurts but does the hyperspeed run to try and cut her off and push her back towards the others.
<DeathStar> *The other Aya stumbles at the shot and Kellin rolls her back*
<DeathStar> *Ren stands in front of her*
<DeathStar> *Fate seems to have a massive hole in her chesT*
<Xanatos> <Xan> So. Another Aya? Is this like how Chad had his Id thing?
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports close and pulls out a scanner of all things, checking hr for traps, bombs, etc.**
<Xanatos> <Xan> OH fuck, Fate.
<DeathStar> *Aya does seem to have a grenade ready to pull it*
<Seraphna> **Nox calls for a healer and Angela moves over, working on Fate**
<Seraphna> **Jaime stomps a hand on her arm to stop her**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves over to kneel by fate, he begins to form healing mist magic to aid in the healing.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Well. I knew this was a defining moment. Didn't see it as mine
<Seraphna> Angela> Just hold on. **She uses her strongest healing powers**
<Xanatos> <Simon> I am sorry Fate, we will do whatever we can...but this is grave.
<Dias`> *Chad walks two Aya and the other two, training his gun on her* Just give up.
<DeathStar> *Aya, with her back up weapon taken, seems to drop to the ground*
<Dias`> *to*
<DeathStar> *and go prone like she has no will*
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "What was-?!" She hurries towards the sound of the commotion, stumbling a bit.
<Seraphna> **Jaime TKs the grenade up and away from everyone, leaving it where it drops for now**
<Dias`> *Chad pulls out a small restraining line and tosses it to Kellin* Secure her
<DeathStar> *Fate seems to be keeping stable and alive, but the wound is grave like said*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pulls out cuffs and secures the Aya.
<Seraphna> Angela> I'm gonna freeze you over to keep it from getting any worse till we can get the big guns to help you okay?
<DeathStar> *Yuki kneels* Can we move her to a pod and put her in it? The ship could try to repair her organs
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh you have that?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It's the Aquarius
<DeathStar> *Selena follows Nico, helping her up*
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah one sec... **She closes her eyes and touches Fate, doing something to give her a huge boost** This should keep her stable while we move her.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I flooded Xanatos' system with Nanites to keep him healed, perhaps I could use his blood to synthesize more for her as well.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and carefully lifts up Fate to move her inside.
<Dias`> *Chad moves over to the other, eyeing the situation*
<DeathStar> *Sylph oddly just watches for now*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane takes Xanatos inside to get some blood samples. Kellin escorts the murder Aya over to the others.
<DeathStar> *Yuki starts up medical bay as they arrive and gets a pod ready*
<DeathStar> *Aya looks perturbed as she watches, keeping back*
<Seraphna> **Cookie assists being the sometimes on board medic**
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<Seraphna> Jaime> This one's will was taken too it seems.
<Dias`> *Chad crosses his arms, eyeing the other Aya secured up in a bed*
<DeathStar> <Aya> Why target her
<DeathStar> *she eyes the Aya, then Fate is settled in*
<Dias`> <Chad> Because Fate is a threat to those above us.
<DeathStar> *Selena keeps Nicolette up on her shoulder as everything is settled in.*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She barely had any power left to use against them. That is a cowardly move
<Seraphna> Jaime> I really should have considered this. Fare is more valuable a target than I am.
<Seraphna> Jaime> She still has something we never really ask her about.
<DeathStar> *by now, Geb and the other spirits have left; Sylph stepping up join Ellie*
<Dias`> <Chad> It's one of two things. To reduce her ability to effect the outcome or two send her back up to be punished properly.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Knowledge. We don't even really know the name of our enemy.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Pretty much everything they've been doing has been a cowardly move."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Damn straight.
<Seraphna> Jaime> They probably think they are benevolent.
<Dias`> <Chad> Pride doesn't win wars.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Maybe Wind or Xevil can give us an answer. If I beat it out of them.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm not sure trying to force answers like that works well."
<Xanatos> <Xan> I would just like to point out that Wind and Xevil left to go to the crystal tree and only Xevil returned.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Could be nothing, but I noticed it and now I am speaking it out loud.
<Dias`> <Chad> ...That's potentially an important thing to notice.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will make sure we check it out and see if anything happened
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I take it this Xevil is the bad guy and Wind is the good guy?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'd consider it a failure if we didn't."
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "They're a little more complicated than that..."
<DeathStar> *She hmmms* <Sylph> So when are we going back home? We have to check up on it right?
<DeathStar> *she heads into the back, as if looking for stuff*
<Dias`> <Chad> So what's our next move? *He looks at Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would say head back to Kumen to get our shuttle and check on the state of the planets. Then we can return. *she turns to Jaime* That is okay with you, right?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And make sure Wind is fine
<Xanatos> <Simon> The Aquarius wants to investigate the origin point for the meteor storm.
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** If we have a gate to get back here now I'd say the family isn't seperated.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We can work on deploying more convenient ones later too.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Time is fucky here, we don't know the conversion yet but 10 years had passed when we first arrived.
<DeathStar> <Avenir> That is a problem
<DeathStar> <Avenir> I been subtly trying to stop it, but the Cleaners might get mad
<DeathStar> <Avenir> It'd be better if someone else stopped it
<Xanatos> <Simon> Stop it in what way?
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** We may have some way to do so.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We've done it before between realities.
<Ari`> <Nicolette> "Is time speeding up here again?"
<DeathStar> <Avenir> Since you all came, I been trying to make time align a bit more with Prime's.
<DeathStar> <Avenir> But it is not natural
<Dias`> <Chad> It usually isn't. You'd need something to anchor both realities together tighter.
<Xanatos> <Simon> It may be something that we simply have to account for, for now.
<Dias`> <Chad> Regardless. For now we should get our business resolved her and head back so we don't miss anything.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Right. Lets us do what needs to be done
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 1:
<DeathStar> *down in the lower levels, Logan and Nyarlathotep have begun to wage a war on each other; how long, who knows. There is no sign of Xevil in this war, since Nyarlathotep is the ruler once more, indicating he has left long ago. It is a war that who knows the victor of, but many have joined each other's side, indicating Logan has a good chance. .. maybe too good. Like he's being stacked to win by someone.*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 2:
<DeathStar> *Zayne finds herself in the jungle, mumbling to the creature on her shoulder after that jolt of dark power, not acting normal even by her standards, when she spots a familiar winged spirit being taken underground. Or maybe she's seeing insane things, much like the stuff around her right now. Maybe Zayne will burn everything around her. But that will have to wait until Geyze resumes*

* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Minis
<DeathStar> *Tsukiko wears a maid outfit at the bar*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps into the cafe and moves over to the counter*
<DeathStar> <Tsukiko> Hello
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sits down* "Mmmmm.... cheeseburger and a shake."
<DeathStar> *Tsukiko glances at something* Hmmm. Coming right up. *she informs the foxes in the back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...you seemed distracted for a moment."
<DeathStar> <Tsukiko> Just glancing over previous orders - you seem to really like that combo.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "If I am coming to the PAX, I prefer something reliable. If I am at home, I can make anything I want myself."
<DeathStar> <Tsukiko> Fair enough. *Ren steps in* <Ren> Did you hear?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hear what?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Kat's place is going to have competition opening up across the "street", run by cute Dog girls according to the paperwork. Dogs vs. Foxes. *Ren takes a seat at the bar* What next, the famfrits plan to open a place next door, too?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Too many places in close proximity... how annoying. Though they cn't match the weight of history that Kat's has."
<DeathStar> *the food is brought and Tsukiko takes Ren's order, heading into the back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *picks up her burger and bites into it*
<DeathStar> *Ren sprawls, yawning*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...tired?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Still things to be cleared up. I mean, we have worlds yanked, Spade slithering away, Adeline breaking necks, a man yanked to hell
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm? What exactly happened to Adeline this time?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> oh she broke Spade's neck unprovoked
<DeathStar> <Ren> Or strangled
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm still going throug hthe files
<DeathStar> <Ren> Either way the team healed him
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think if she does try it again, I doubt she'll leave a body next time
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...was she being mind controlled?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Not sure. *props head* She did have an unusual psionic chip that could defend and control other psionics and Spade has the counter. Supposedly it can cause aggression in the person. Cuddles removed it when everyone ganged up on her, and she stated that they were making a mistake when the higher beings were most likely using psionics to yank wills around. See the clone Aya.
<DeathStar> <Ren> So we'll see if we should have left it in
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...as I recall, analysis of the victims showed no psionic influence... or at least not anything we would recognize as psionic."
<DeathStar> <Ren> That's the problem. It appears that there's no psionic tampering when we checked, but we still have not been able to lock down how wills are being messed with. Some of us in security - like Adeline if you look at her notes - are leaning toward psionics being needed to go wide spread or an empath at least.
<DeathStar> <Ren> But you have song mages being hit, you have Fate being hit, the Peacekeeper organization being messed with. *She pokes her food* You have a pattern of what they're messing with?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...the Song Mage tower is not psionically attuned though, but they were trying to use it to get the whole planet...so what if its auditory or magical?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> It's an idea to be looked at.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...so what is the end goal now? If they want to prune our reality, why the puppeteering?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Not sure. Everything is quiet right now and a lot of the people are starting to regain their wll
<DeathStar> <Ren> Like Athena
<DeathStar> <Ren> If their plan is to keep me busy busy busy it's working
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I sincerely doubt their goal is to troll you, Ren."
<DeathStar> <Ren> You never know!
<DeathStar> *Ren looks serious though* But in all seriousness
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm not sure if things returning to normal is good or bad
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...too many unanswered questions left on the table."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yep. *she chews on desserT*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...so perhaps we should figure out a way to be pre-emptive."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think mom is attempting to think of a way to do that, but for some reason going upward is harder than going downward.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Especially since going down was shown by Fate.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...of course, its harder."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Give it time. We'll get up there. Though, there is one thing that has made it twice as hard
<DeathStar> *Ren shows the results of Yggdrasil* If it is connectd to other Yggdrasils, it would have helped
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Perhaps that was the true purpose with their attack... to keep us from knockign down their door like we did with the lower planes."
<DeathStar> <Ren> If we have to... we'll strap Dias to a ship
<DeathStar> <Ren> And he can punch randomly
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... what about using the mirror universe to traverse that Yggdrasil?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh hey, we can try to steal a Yggdrasil from a lower realm. We never did run into one of them down there. ... I mean, who cares if that destroys the entire place.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...and how does one still a Yggdrasil?"
<DeathStar> *Ren clasps her hands* The Mirrorverse one is not really a true one. It's a Crystal Tree, yeah, but from what Taiga says, it's like a Centerpointish tree, mirroring Yggdrasil - a shade to the real deal. Probably why Wind was willing to take whatever power was there and attempt to transfer it back to to Prime, maybe theough the pathways
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh, you know, lots of ships, pulling it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I doubt the entire Suisen Defense Fleet could make the Yggdrasil budge."
<DeathStar> <Ren> True
<DeathStar> <Ren> As for the Mirror Tree, I'll see if the Crystal one can even do a reality hop like the old Centerpoint could.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We need a solution... we cannot wait for them to make their next move."
<DeathStar> <Ren> We'll figure something out. Maybe you can look through that book your mom gave you for a spell
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...yes...maybe a magic gateway..."
<DeathStar> *Tsukiko brings out a large pie for them*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm? Did you order this, Ren?"
<DeathStar> <Tsukiko> On the house. You two always look stress - well, one of you does. You're going to start losing your fur
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hah!"
<DeathStar> *Ren puffs cheeks*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "She does have a point, Ren. You need to relax and regain your health."
